My Mugen Prelude'D car is faster than your JDM S2K
Disclaimer: I like Spoon Sports products, in fact I've owned many parts. I just like Mugen more for the following reason (see below) 
I got bored again. So I started the teaser thread: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=550606
Here's the answer: I bought a real race car.
1994 Dallara F394 (Formula 3). The car is made entirely out of carbon-fiber and weighs only 900-lbs. Powering the car is an authentic Mugen F3 race motor (MF-204). The motor is derived from a B20A5 block (early 90's Prelude). Not much different other than the use of lightweight components (power increase from 135 to 165-hp). All other components are Mugen (engine hub, ITBs, exhaust). All F3 cars at that time ran 24mm restrictors (that CF tear-drop shaped object). According to the current owners, it ran 3Gs at Brands Hatch.
History: This car was originally owned by Willi Webbers (Michael Schumacher's and Ralf Schumacher's manager) and his two drivers for German F3 were: Ralf Schumacher (Formula 1 Driver) and Sascha Maassen (Porsche factory driver for ALMS). The car was later owned by COMTEC and ran in British F3. Then Steve Nichols (Ayrton Senna's F1 chief engineer) bought the car, threw out the Opel-Spiess motor and put in the Mugen race motor. Ran in British ARP F3. Currently owned by Halcyon who campaigned it in Formula Libre.
